Taking a stand often leaves you feeling alone. It doesn’t always win you friends and might even make some enemies. But if an idea is both true and profoundly important, those who take a stand for it have a bond that nothing can break. This week, we turn our attention to the stand Lutherans take on “Grace alone.” In most areas of life, people are treated according to what they deserve—whether good or bad. Grace, however, is God’s undeserved love. Because Jesus’ willingly endured suffering, condemnation, and death that he didn’t deserve, God can offer us as free gifts forgiveness, life, and salvation that we don’t deserve.
